<p>I know exactly how you feel...couple of hundred here and there and they all add up at the end...I have spent way too much on hobbies...besides trains I also collect die-cast commercial jets in the 1/400 and 1/500 scale and let me tell you, that's even more additctive and pretty much a bottomless pit...there is this other forum which they actually have a database of all the planes available and you can enter what you have and kee your collection on their website and I think there should be one for trains although unlike those, most train stuff prob not worth much after a while...</p><p>I really hate to put an exact figure to what I spent on my hobbies...I now cut out a couple of them like RC in the 1/10 scale...I got rid of most of them to fund my trains now but to-date, I probably have close to 1000 planes I think and they average about $30 each (conservative estimate) and I think I have dumped about $3000-$4000 into trains so far especially I just bought a whole bunch of DCC stuff and just upgraded to DCC and I expect that's going to add up when I have DCC up and running...</p><p>My wife's been pretty supportive but I know she rather me put those money aside or our child's education...I think once everything settles down that will control itself I hope...our daughtor is still young but I think oviously the cost of raising a child will increase as she grows so I will have to control myself then...</p>
